Fourtunate Neck Scarf
Fourtunate Neck Scarf
A simple, easily memorized slip-stitch pattern combined with four coordinated colors makes for a stunning neck scarf that is surprisingly easy to knit. The scarf features a stylish ribbed shawl collar and a matching ribbed section at the center back that makes it comfortable and easy to wear around your neck.
Beginning at one end using the slip stitch pattern, the scarf is knit flat to the center section, which is worked in 1x1 ribbing, followed by another section in pattern. Stitches are then picked up along one long edge and worked in 1x1 ribbing with short rows to create an elegantly curved shawl collar worked in variegated yarn.
